I am sorry, I do not consider Mechs to be content any more than Christmas Lights or hanging medallions. Maybe we are just using different definitions. But even if I did consider them content, I have about 50 mastered mechs and I would like some New and Different content.

So you have less than 50% of current content but demand more. Apparently they need to make 200% more so you can get your 50%. OK

Dear PGI, this probably gonna get lost in the countless post on this thread, but if by some reason some of you guys can catch it and explain it to whoever leads your marketing strategy i would be happy.

1: the prices are relatively right, you keep the very same pattern since founder with almost the same rewards, always centered in 30$ for 3x variants (one of those with C-bill bonus) with his mechbays.

2: The Gold Collection skins, are just wrongly priced... there is several reasons
1st if your Mech price standard is XX Mc per ton, you are asking 500$ indiferently if it's for a 2000 MC worth mech or a 8000MC worth one
2nd no explanation if it's a single skin or a free mech with special skin or even special coloured pattern
3rd Seems to be openly there, a waiting line or a text soon to be available would raise a bit more of hype

As best i would price those at 50$ dollars, it would be way way more simpler reachable for a part of the community and probably net more sales overall.

3: the Packet pricing, there is much Rage about it not for the price but for the **mech** swaping the Timber Wolf with the Summoner and that alone would avoided half of the current rage post.

4: In fact i would suggest an aproach closer to a choice with 2x Different packages (Warden and Crusader as example) each one offering a group of 4 Mechs for 120$ total each and the extra option to buy the *Touman* pack with both packs.


Just some general ideas, i know it's a business from your side but you ned to offer a well tought package with options and choices to the players, this would hook them in and not seem just a money grab.

Sincerely Lord Perversor *Urbie adept*

Yup, 2007 prices versus 2013, Genius! Really!

So how about 30$??? LOL sounds reasonable. 2007 vs 2013 there is no difference, its digital content. It's not like I am getting a life size model or anything. Hell dude, look at the prices of the BF3 expansions... PGI makes me LuLuL

Everyone saying that its just $10/mech... no. Just listen for a second.

Of all the 'mechs they're offering, the ones I would want are the Nova and the Adder. To get the Novas, I have to pay $60. The fact that I also get 3 Kit Foxes doesn't mean anything to me because I don't want them and cannot choose to buy the Novas alone. To get 3 Adders (which comes with 3 Novas) I have to pay $150. The Kit Foxes, Summoners and Dire Wolfs mean nothing because, again, I do not want them.

So if I want Adders, its $150 or nothing. Which is $50 per mech. Taking into account the 3 Novas I'd get, that's $25 per mech.

I'd much rather pay $10/mech to just buy 3 Adders and 3 Novas and skip all the others. But not an option. Its $150 or bust.

No you see it is such a good deal because hahaha sorry I can't

Yeah 240 bucks now is totally like 15 bucks back in 2002.

[Colddawg]

what icon is on the Kit Fox and WOOT! DIAMOND SHARK ON THE SUMMONER!

Does anyone know anything about the signed digital copy? Do you get a copy of the 'Mech that is highlighted in the pack or can you pick and choose?

It doesn't matter how many hate on this in the forums if they packages sell well nothing will change. Every one of these sales, including founders packages has been called a cash grab and would cause the doom of pgi. Yet every single one has did really well.

Has DONE***. But I know what you mean. Well, fooled me twice. I'll be seeing how it pans out. If information is disseminated that shows these are going to be an awesome purchase, than hallelujah. BUT... it was stupid to release and OPEN it for money, without telling us even what the 'mechs will have, and with the community feeling the ache for more than just MOAR MECHS. Especially mechs we won't see til next year. Deliver some CW and UI 2.0, nerf ECM, take out 3rd person, and we'll talk. LOL those last parts were just for laughs. Anybody remember when we were all losing our minds about that ****? Good times. Seriously this company has a track record of not telling us anything, and for good reason. WE HATE ALL THEIR DECISIONS.

All I can say is ...

Where is my Mad Dog?

That's in the $312 "Touman Reinforcements" pack coming in Feb 2014 (delivery by Sept 2014). Existing "Clan Invasion" pack required.

[Scratx]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH No.

I paid full Founders. I paid full Phoenix and Saber.

But THOSE PRICES...

Nope.

Meant to say 'good revenue model'. There are very few items to spend money on. Honestly, you could buy every Hero mech, Phoenix/Saber, Founder, all the paint and all the cockpit items for under $1000. I know people who spend hundreds of dollars a month on silly games like Candy Crush and Farmville. You really CANNOT be a 'whale' in MW:O. There just isn't enough stuff to buy.

Well, pheww. All this time I thought I was "the" Moby of MWO. phewww

[Sturmwind]

Start launcher - 100% of all cases read "NEW SALE" - be disappointed.

[ArchSight]

Aw this sale is ridicoules. I say ridicoules because there is too many mechs. We don't get to choose which mechs to get. Were forced to buy the rest instead of just the madcat, or just the thor, or just the masakari. There's too many mechs that I don't want to pilot between the Uller and the mad cat. I don't want to pay for extra mechs that I will not pilot. This sale has 8 different mechs that you might like piloting or might not like piloting. I want the Uller, The Thor, and the mad cat but I would have to pay for 4 other different mechs which is more than the amount of mechs that I want from the package. The sale is turning me off because there is too many mechs that I would be forced to get that I don't want to pilot to get the ones I do want.

The unique modules and Warhorns has me worried for PayToWin concerns. Information about it would be nice too.

[Hellcat420]

Its a F2P game financed by the people in this thread...

What? Those who have, or those who will not? Be more specific or be vague forever..

http://mwomercs.com/...ill-unresolved/

So many of these issues, especially the lack of lag compensation and a non-working matchmaker, unresolved for 1.5 years since closed beta started.

And here you are, trying to sell $500 gold mech packages. Unbelivable. This is the very definition of shameless.This is a giant slap in the face of every one of your players.

Instead of fixing the core game, all you do is push expensive mech packages and hero/champion mechs that are a complete ripoff.

It's like Microsoft and Vista all over again, but Microsoft actually made windows 7, while you guys have made....more mechs to sell.

Bottom line, fix the game first, do you just not care how many thousands of players have quit the game in utter disgust because of how broken it is?
